The Proposed Project:

The project consists of the expansion and rehabilitation of the lagoon in Dokis First Nation, Ontario. The modifications will increase the lagoon's capacity, implement the pre-treatment system, and install separation membranes to channel the flow. Pre-treatment is proposed to reduce the sediment build up in the lagoon due to the amount of septage disposed of in the lagoon. The project will enable the lagoon to meet Federal and Provincial discharge requirements, reduce the loss of capacity and/or frequent removal of sludge from the lagoon, and increase lagoon capacity to meet the required one-year retention time.
